    Summary

    In the sunlit garden of her sister’s home, Lord Potter had promised Lily a life of her own design, with minimal expectations—her presence at community events, companionship, and an heir. As the two stumble into the routine of marriage and work to make a life together at Stinchcombe Hall, unsolicited feelings provoke each to start wondering if this is merely a marriage…or if it could be something more.

    Summary

    “That was rude of me,” Fleamont says, wincing slightly.

    “It was,” she agrees without hesitation, raising an eyebrow.

    His shoulders drop a fraction. “I didn’t expect to see you here.”

    “Evidently,” she says dryly.

    Summary

    “Till death do us part,” she concluded, all air sucked from her lungs. Her fate signed, sealed and delivered. As the priest spoke his final words, she found herself ensnared in her adversary's gaze, trapped by the weight of it, her mouth opening as she spoke under her breath - almost subconsciously: “Let it be quick.”

    A Jily Arranged Marriage AU in which Lady Lily never imagined she would fall for the husband she was forced to wed. Inspired by My Lady Jane.

    Summary

    It’s easy living a lie when everyone believes it. Or at least, almost everyone. Only two people in Hogwarts know her secret: Albus Dumbledore and her best friend, Severus Snape. And it needs to stay that way.

    Summary

    He tries to turn, moving out of the veil and through the mist, as if seeing through someone else’s glasses. Gradually, his vision clears, though it remains pitch dark. A small light appears, growing larger, until it forms into a person.

    And there she is. Her fringe is back, like seventh year.

    Summary

    He turned to look back over his shoulder, not seeing the creeping cat on his tail, and barrelled around the last corner before the staircases.

    SLAM!

    The wind rushed out of him. Suddenly, he was falling, something soft landing underneath him, tangling with his legs and squeaking sharply. He rolled as he hit the ground hard, and the soft squeaking thing was pulled above him, limbs wrapped together.

    James groaned, catching his breath and pushing his glasses back into place. He reoriented himself quickly, opening his eyes to see that yes, he had collided with another student, and yes, they had taken quite a big tumble together, and yes, because he was just that damned lucky and the fates really owed him for the failure of a prank that evening, it was Lily Evans lying on top of him.

    “Maybe I’m waiting for the right one,” he says, shrugging lightly, his gaze steady and intent on her.

    The words catch her off guard, landing heavily in her chest. She forces a laugh, rolling her eyes as though to wave it away. “That’s a bit idealistic, don’t you think?”

    James nods thoughtfully. “Most of the time, yeah. But sometimes… I don’t know. Sometimes I think it’s possible.”

    “Like what? You fancy me! Kiss me.

    Each time she says it, it’s like a new bruise blooms around his heart, her words pressing on all of them at once.

    “I can’t!” he shouts, the frustration cracking through.

    “Because I’ve been drinking?” she demands, a bitter laugh escaping her. “Your chivalry is duly noted, Potter, but I’m giving you a pass here. Just—”

    “It’s not about that,” he interrupts.

    “You can’t just sneak into someone’s house and steal their baby.”

    Sirius looks up, his dark eyes glinting with exhaustion but holding a stubborn edge. “This isn’t just some baby. This is Harry,” he says, voice rough but resolute, as if that explains everything.

    Summary

    "No friendship is an accident" - O. Henry

    Remus Lupin, Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew first make one friend, then two others, when they start Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. To Remus, his new friends present a challenge: how to keep his secret from them? To Sirius, his new friends change nothing: he has never needed anyone, and nobody is going to change that: not even James Potter. To Peter, his new friends seem to good to be true: after all, they are cool, and brave, and intelligent - above all, they are Gryffindors - and the sorting hat was not at all sure he was one.

    James Potter makes friends easily - and even makes an enemy before the school term has officially started. He is exactly where he's meant to be: a Gryffindor at Hogwarts, with friends by his side and a castle to explore. It's a shame not every Gryffindor student is as great as his three new friends, but then again, Lily Evans isn't really a Gryffindor, is she?

    This is the story of the Marauders, Lily Evans and Severus Snape as they start Hogwarts in 1971. This is part 1 of a 4 part series, and details the beginning of the marauders, all the way until the discovery of Remus' secret.

    Summary

    It's 1975 and Whoever-He-Is has turned his eyes towards Hogwarts.

    Muggle-born Lily Evans is certain her best friend has been recruited by the Death Eaters. She's less certain about her future in wizarding Britain. And she has absolutely no idea how to handle the dark-haired, outrageously privileged, obnoxiously talented toerag named James Potter.

    A canon-compliant account of the Marauders' adventures at Hogwarts, as war draws ever nearer. COMPLETE.

    Summary

    “Has something I said bothered you?”

    James sets his own book down without even bothering to dog-ear the page. Lily thinks that’s a very apt metaphor for the two of them—he’ll shut a book without care if he loses his place, and she’s got a set of leather bookmarks sitting in a drawer in her room. He’d stolen one from her, a few years ago, but she’s not once seen him use it.

    “You said I’m allowed to not like your hair.”

     

     

    There are some moments that sneak up on you. The profession of James's feelings certainly does so for Lily.
